KARL JOHAN ERIK NYBERG, 0F STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.

HAIRPIN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 9, 1920.

Application filed February 6, 1919. Serial No. 275,406.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that :LJKARL JOHAN ERIK NYBERG, a subject of the King of Sweden, residing at Stockholm, in the Kingdom of sists in ordinary manner of two straight shanks 1, between which shanks there is a third shank 2 which is bent into wave shape so that the crests of the waves touch the inner sides of the straight shanks. A hair-pin constructed in this manner does not offer any considerably increased resistance when pushed into the hair, but when introduced it will be securely retained as the strands of hair in the openings between the waves and the straight shanks can not without particular effort be drawn out past or through the places where the crests of the waves touch the outer shanks.

The middle shank 2 is suitably secured at the bend joining the two outer shanks 1, and it may be secured either by being wound a suitable number of turns around said bend, or by there being provided an opening in said bend into which the upper end of the middle shank 2 which in such case preferablv is somewhat flattened, is introduced, the joint being pressed together so as to become smooth and even.

I claim:

1. In a hair-pin, the combination of two outer substantially straight shanks, and an intermediate shank bent into wave shape with its waves lying in the plane of said straight shanks and the crests of said waves touching the inner sides of the two straight shanks.

2. in a hair-pin, the combination of two outer substantially straight shanks, and an intermediate shank securedat one end to said straight shanks and bent into wave shape with its waves lying in the plane of said straight shanks and the crests of said waves touching the inner sides of said two straight shanks. o

KARL JOl'lAN ERIK NYBERG.
